Dear GOLers,
I just uploaded BGBlitz 2.0.1 (http://www.bgblitz.com).
The most important improvement is a new AI. The new neural net wins
about 2 points in 100 cubeless money games against the old AI. With the
original 626 Depreli positions it has an error of 14.65 (the old AI had
19.5) Other test showed a decent improvement too, so BGBlitz is now an
even more grim opponent.
You can select between the old AI as "TachiAI Graz" and the new AI
called "TachiAI II" as a player and as the AI for evaluations/best
moves.
Further improvements:
* The possible moves are indicated on the board
* improved user interface
* For Mac OS X: a universal binary
* you can select which checker colour to play with in themes too
* the speed of the checker movement is not dependent on the hardware
speed anymore
* new themes and new sounds in the standard distribution
* several bugfixes, some minor, three severe.
It runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
The upgrade is free.
I hope you enjoy
ciao
Frank
